He passed without a will when he passed i was only 6 yrs old barely remember the funeral. Grandmother died in 2004 she made will leaving her house to her son she had before marrying my grandfather and my mothers real brothers son. my brother and i lived in alabama at the time of the her death I lived her all my life and my brother went to live mothers brother in texas at age 6. When grandmother passed they called to let us know and said there was no reason for us to come out and my brother and I was like hmm guess we wont hear from those aunts and uncles and cousins no more. Then I was told the house was left to the cousin and he sold the house. I didnt know the laws and didnt think anything of it until last week I get a email saying he needs me to sign this document and notarize it he was selling grandmothers house. The upkeep, taxes and all was too much to handle. I was dumb founded because i was told he sold the house. That my half uncle got mad leaving him with it all because he made to feel uncomfortable and he started over close to his daughter. He had lived with grandmother for 15 years. But he was half brother and no rights to the place and grew up in that house like the rest of the kids did. Well i started asking my cousin questions and he been renting this house for 8 years to a couple of guys that worked at the prison system and was told they did work on the house and the house isnt much but its worth something and the only reason I know now that i have rights to my pawpaws half of the house is because he cant sell it without my permission and my brothers permission. He says mac and i will get our part but my other uncle didnt get his part and nothing was said about it when he signed those papers he didnt read. I mean what can I do about this issue..8 years is along time to find you got interest in property that you didnt know u had and thought it was sold years ago. But it was used as income for my cousin that by law doesnt even own but a percentage of this house and land. my grandfather died in texas in 1976 he was survived by my grandmother and her 2 adult sons and my mother who died in 1990.

In her will she left half of her estate to him and the other half to my aunt, his sister. I know that my dad's 1/2 would go to my and my sister as we are his decendents. However, are my grandmother's bank accounts part of the estate? My aunt is a co-signer on the accounts does she automatically get the funds in the account or are the accounts part of the estate?

All the accounts were under my husband. Upon his death, I have gone through no access to funds and he had leased the place as a one person so no place to live, medically unable to work etc. There is money in the acounts. Do I have to become homeless just because I trusted him? thanks Married for 15 years. All the accounts were under my husband. Upon his death, I have gone through no access to funds and he had leased the place as a one person so no place to live, medically unable to work etc. There is money in the acounts.
